I believe God’s greatest desire for us is freedom, and I’ve made it my mission to help others fight for their hearts and experience that breakthrough firsthand. Alongside my passion for ministry and orphan care, I am an avid lover of the outdoors. You’ll often find me fly fishing on a quiet stream, hiking a new trail, or winding down by a campfire. Life is kept lively by my two doodles, Max and Sammie, and my regular sessions at the Lagree studio.
More About Me
For years, I lived a double life. I was the guy leading mission trips while using God as a “get out of hell” card to fund my own selfish dreams. I was drowning in despair, trying to hold a beach ball underwater until the pressure finally snapped me. When my world collapsed, I realized I hadn’t been living; I had only been surviving.
In my darkest moment, I encountered two words that changed everything: But God. He met me in the wreckage. The healing process wasn’t easy—it involved intense spiritual warfare, counseling, and facing wounds I’d ignored for decades. I moved from knowing about God to truly knowing Him. If you feel like you’re driving through life with a foggy windshield, let Him clear the view. You don’t have to wait for your life to fall apart to choose freedom. God’s invitation isn’t just for heaven someday; it’s for restoration right here, right now.
